[Cables] RF Cables Guide
A reference for Deity RF jumper cables, BNC antenna cables, and uncut UHF antennas: connectors, lengths, impedance, and what each one connects.
Deity RF cables and antennas are the connective tissue of a UHF wireless setup. The jumper cables link your wireless microphone receivers to an RF distribution system, the longer BNC runs feed remote antennas, and the UHF antennas themselves come uncut so you can tune them to your working frequency. This guide covers each cable and antenna, its length and impedance, and what it is meant to connect.
RF Jumper and Antenna Cables
Every Deity RF cable is a 50 Ohm coaxial cable, the correct impedance for UHF wireless audio. The short 45cm jumpers are for tidy connections between receivers and an RF distro inside a bag or rack, while the 5 meter BNC run is for remote antenna masts and longer-distance setups.
| Cable | Connectors | Length | Impedance | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Right Angle SMA to Right Angle SMA | Right angle SMA on both ends | 45cm | 50 Ohm | Jumper cable to connect wireless microphone receivers to an RF distro. |
| BNC to BNC | BNC on both ends | 5 meters | 50 Ohm | Ideal for remote antenna masts and longer-distance setups. |
| BNC to BNC Jumper | BNC on both ends | 45cm | 50 Ohm | Jumper cable to connect wireless microphone receivers to an RF distro. |
| Right Angle SMA to Straight BNC | Right angle SMA to straight BNC | 45cm | 50 Ohm | Jumper cable to connect wireless microphone receivers to an RF distro. |
UHF Antennas
Both Deity UHF antennas ship uncut so you can shorten the whip to match your working frequency range. Cutting an antenna to a quarter or half wavelength of your channel improves range and reception. See the THEOS antenna guide for the cut-length method.
UHF Receiver Antenna (UHF-RA)
The UHF-RA comes uncut and can be shortened to accommodate different frequency needs. It also includes an elbow joint for ergonomics and positioning, which is useful for angling the antenna away from a receiver mounted in a tight bag or rack.
UHF Transmitter Antenna (UHF-TA)
The UHF-TA comes uncut and can be shortened to accommodate different frequency needs.
